Your Clintonian denial is duly noted.

"I did not say it would be an "unkindness not to" fleece drunks for their money" (your unchristian words)."

The context of my remarks are found in a post where you responded an assertion about taking money from drunks in poker and bragging about it. Here's the post.

"that's why you brag about taking money from drunks in poker"

It would be an unkindness and a stupidity to give them their money back. They would continue to be stupid and would probably end up as TROLLS!

I responded: So fleecing drunks of their money is your self serving way of helping them? Like taking candy from a Baby; bad for their teeth anyway...

I don't think my characterization of "taking money from drunks in poker" as fleecing them is either untrue or un Christian.
